Good Guy Dave Grohl or Serial Cheater?

[@beyondartv]

I am not having a good week with childhood heroes lol Shame of a situation, but good on Dave for volunteering the info, I guess?

[@random1110]

Let's be honest, What Dave did is scummy and should be looked at as bad, but considering all the other things that other musicians and public figures have done, this is nothing in comparison.

[@justmejenny7986]

He couldn't hide this.

[@lmr1049]

Hard no to the question at the end. He’s publicly admitted to the affair because now that there’s a baby the truth will inevitably come out. He’s doing PR damage control. He’s sorry he got caught. He’s not making this public because he’s suddenly realised the error of his ways at 55 after decades of serial cheating lol. My sympathies are with his wife and children.

[@bdrm2009]

Nah, he's just trying to get ahead of the media so they don't embarass him even more.

[@karynlouisa3771]

My heart goes out to his wife. Cheating is the ultimate emotional abuse. Now she's gotta go out and get STI testing. Saying you love your wife is laughable. You don't abuse those you love. Disgusting. Grow up.

i have genuinely never understood cheating as a whole. if you're unhappy in the relationship then just leave?? i'd be glad someone loves me in the first place lmao

[@alexandereast4072]

It’s not that they’re unhappy, they just want more. Pretty simple concept.

[@N0TYALC]

It’s subhuman behavior. You gather around all of your friends, family, and those of your spouse at a giant ceremony. At the ceremony, you swear an oath to your god, your family, your friends, and your spouse that you will not betray them. Then you throw all of that down the drain whenever the opportunity presents itself, just so that you can feel a fun tingle in your genitals. If you’re willing to betray your spouse in that fashion for that small of a reward, then you will betray *anyone* for *any* reward. Get people like this out of your life, trust me.

[@Happenstance20]

[@nicoledemers98]

Cheating is wrong regardless. Idc if your marriage is falling apart. In that case, get a divorce or leave the person before sleeping with someone else. There’s no excuse for a lack of self control, especially when it hurts another person in the process.

[@jay-55X]

What if the partner doesn’t want to sign the divisor papers? What if the partner is abusive and the person can’t get out of the relationship safe? What if the partner controls all the money so the the person is forced to stay with them? What if they can’t leave because of a situation where they have to stay in the marriage for the kids but the person is unhappy/miserable? These are a few scenarios that doesn’t make it so black and white. I’m not defending cheating here, just asking.

@@jay-55X I think in the case of abuse or situations where people are trapped, there’s an argument to be made about the morality of cheating. However, I wouldn’t lump in “staying together for the kids” as a good example. My parents had an extremely toxic relationship but stayed together for me and honestly, I wish they’d divorced. That would have messed me up less than the constant fighting. I developed an anxiety disorder because of it. If people aren’t happy together, regardless of whether or not they have kids, they shouldn’t be together.

[@Kenny-mccormick19]

This is why I usually separate the art from the artist, because most musicians and celebrities are problematic at this point. A lot of bands and singers have done bad things unfortunately and there's nothing we can do about it.

[@volutedmetal8543]

i think in terms of celebrities, cheating is not something "cancellable". Yeah, it's a huge personal mistake (and Dave already has a history of it in the mid-to-late 90s as far as we know) , and yeah, his family is in a tough situation because of the huge mistake, but at the same time, as a fan, it really is just something personal among his family. I know of course he posted about it, but he likely did that just so he could before TMZ posted about it. if he just makes shitty choices in his personal life (as opposed to being racist, queerphobic, an abuser, etc.), i don't think it should really affect his career

[@slyppery7923]

Plenty you can do. Listen to music made by decent people. A lot of musicians have done really shitty things... so we can choose to not go to their shows or listen to their music. (Dave definitely doesn''t fall into that category for something like this but that's just my personal take based on context) When you separate the art from the artist you don't have any artistic value anymore, its just a meaningless noise that happens to sound cool. It's definitely your choice how you enjoy art, but you're "consuming entertainment" as opposed to "listening to art" if you completely ignore who made it and why. There is bad art. Worst part is, some of it sounds great.

[@Kenny-mccormick19]

@@slyppery7923 Dave Grohl isn't necessarily a bad person, but I do think it's wrong he cheated two times. At least he owned up to it. That being said, whilst it's true that some musicians and celebrities are good people, even they make mistakes and have questionable opinions. Even back in the old school days, some of the most iconic musicians of all time have some allegations against them or happen to be terrible people, yet it doesn't affect their work at all.

[@slyppery7923]

@@Kenny-mccormick19 It did affect their work though. Artists like Elvis or Bob Dylan who get dragged for things like having questionable relationships with minors, always had some tone of perversion or guilt or lust or pride in their music and the way they carried themselves. Usually an unhealthy dose. This affects the listener and the way they interpret music forever, in various ways. And thats only one category of "shitty things artists have done" its an entire spectrum. Anywho off that note I entirely agree with what you've to say about Dave, still a great dude at heart, who's made some great music. But this very shitty (repeated) behavior definitely needs to be taken into account when viewing the way he's developed as a person, and how it applies to what he's actually been feeling, saying and writing about over time.

[@Kenny-mccormick19]

@@volutedmetal8543 I actually can't stand cancel culture. Even though I'm not defending Dave Grohl's actions, he is human like the rest of us, meaning that he is going to make mistakes and mess things up like the rest of us. I still like Foo Fighter's music, despite the fact that Dave cheated twice. Calling out celebrities is fine when they make mistakes, but cancelling them usually comes across as pretty childish to me, even though it depends on the individual and crime.

After Taylor died, others came forward saying he had called them that night reaching out for help, he even called the front desk at the hotel for help, and I wondered where was Dave? After all, they were on tour and would have been staying in the same hotel that night. And why haven't we heard from him if Taylor had reached out to him? Right then, I knew Grohl couldn't be who he portrays. I didn't know why or the extent,but I did know something was off with him.

[@veledajohnson1511]

The wife needs to call u haul....😂😂😂😂

[@amandaredd3057]

I don't condone what he did because you're absolutely correct. Cheating is garbage especially when married with a family. I think it's at least somewhat admirable that he's owning up to what he's done and taking responsibility for this kiddo. I don't know, man. We shall see..

[@davidmatheny1993]

I will start by saying this comment is in no way defending him. However, I will say two main things: 1. If he is genuine in wanting to change and make amends, taking responsibility for the kid and his actions is a start.He was also willing to accept the public backlash of not keeping it private. There's no telling how many famous people have tried to cover stuff like that up. 2. If we see how broken our families and society can be, then why do people seek or expect perfection from their role models? You will always find disappointment because every last person you know has done or said something they regret.

Side note: If it helps someone understand how I took the perspective of #1, my biological father left before I was born and denied I was his. Then, when the man I always knew as my father sought to adopt me, the other guy said he wouldn't sign off unless my mom never told me who he was.

Well, there goes my hero… At least we still have Billie Joe Armstrong who is a strong rock icon and good husband, right? RIGHT?

[@Nfldbennn]

People need to get over celebrity worship. This really shouldn't matter to anyone outside of the individuals involved. Like, his family will be concerned about attention from the public, but they shouldn't have to because its bizarre people care this much about a stranger's personal life. Admire his talent and creativity. But seriously, if you honestly feel really strongly about this ... you cared too much in the first place. Yes, people cheat and its fine to have an opinion on that. If it happens to you or a loved one, by all means, thats a normal thing to be affected by. But a musician's love child?... There are way more important things to worry about.

[@Sticker_By_NCT_127]

Not even a Foo Fighters fan but he seemed like a nice person… I’d be very sad if someone I listened to did this (Which is sadly likely)

[@DanniDerpy]

it sucks that he had to admit this to the entire internet because we know that if he didnt some tabloid or leaker would do it for him. this is exactly the kind of thing that should stay private between him and his family, we arent married to them! im sure the last thing his kids and wife want was to be publicly embarrassed all over the internet, damn social media age taking an awful thing and making it 10 times worse

[@jordansantos7226]

It’s good that he admitted what he did but now I’m feeling torn on what to do. Unsure if I can listen to any of his music. Also I don’t like it when people use “problematic” and “unproblematic” to describe celebrities because at the end of the day, they still tend to do shitty things like every other human being

The dude still cannot provide a son. 😅

NO SON OF MINE

Dave is the modern King Henry VIII. Shooting blanks if you ask me

[@PetParadiseVB]

Humans are messy. People are so unsure of themselves and need people to behave for them it seems.

[@cognitivedissonance8406]

How I feel about this is yeah it sucks that Dave cheated, but honestly it isn’t anyone’s business except between him and his loved ones. We are so quick to condemn every problematic action in this day and age, and sometimes that is absolutely warranted. Holding people responsible for their immoral behavior when abuse, especially abuse of power when accountability is unlikely, is an excellent thing communities can do, including the online community. And when someone does what Dave did, it is understandable that people who idolized him are disappointed (though I would argue it’s dangerous to idolize any human being). But the truth is countless people have done what Dave has done and have had to deal with the consequences and the fallout in their personal life. If accountability is held, that is all that should be expected of anyone who hurts others through selfish actions. But Dave is a public figure, and he knows how our culture reacts. When he posted his simple statement regarding the matter, he ended with a plea to leave the children alone. That made me truly sad, because I don’t believe this needs to be a public matter at all, it should be between Dave and his family. But knowing the internet, Dave understood he had no choice but to address this publicly and ask for simple respect and decency for himself and his loved ones which everyone deserves, even people with moral failings, unless they have committed crimes or perpetrated abuse, which as far as we know Dave has not.

[@zarathustrazknob3972]

It's always the nice guys. If anyone is shocked by this it's on you.

[@Falxifer95]

This whole situation really displays how we should never treat celebrities or artists like gods, because people fuck up. I'll take solace in knowing he wasn't exposed as an abuser and plans to take care of this newborn but that's how low the bar is, because cheating is never ok, especially if you're married and with children.

[@mariemorris8918]

how did he find the time to do this???........their tour dates were brutal.......back to back gigs everywhere...........

[@AngelaEzell-vg7ge]

DO NOT JUDGE BECAUSE NONE OF US ARE WORTHY AND SO WE SHOULD WORRY ABOUT OUR OWN MISTAKES OR SINS AND NOT OTHERS'

[@SimonDelaney1974]

The biggest shock this week is Cobains killers being exposed and then this with Grohl being the thing that made the news 🤷

[@lespaul1142]

What do you mean? Where can I see them being exposed? I always believed that dave is somehow into Cobain assassination, or at least, he knows what really happened.

[@SimonDelaney1974]

@@lespaul1142 search on here for ‘Chris Todd the mysterious death of Kurt Cobain’ Cinemills Tv. He dropped the names and what happened to Cobain 11 days ago ✌️ Truth finally came out.

[@sivvyny]

EXACTLY

[@marissac870]

Good fkin point. Joe Burns speaks. And then dave with this. Almost perfect showing he is not ... perfect and untouchable like he s seemed to be. Can go in so many ways. But great point. Been following all of that myself and youre right.

[@nifferwolf]

I feel bad for the kids. The wife too, obviously, but the kids are still young enough for this to truly effect their future relationships. I can't even imagine the disappointment I'd feel finding that out about my dad.

[@KhaosKontroller]

He had another confession to make.

[@isaacmontoya9636]

The dudes a rockstar man, you reach the fame pole you can’t help but swim through a sea of groupies. Honestly this doesn’t surprise me
